Certainly I can address some of the questions you're posing there.
On the continuing professional development point, it depends on a number of things, in terms of how the program is evaluated, from my knowledge there. It depends on the content, obviously. It also depends on the style of delivery. If it's a lecture style of delivery, it's not rated as highly for CPD points as it would be if it's interactive, where part of it is a workshop undertaking and part of it is a lecture.
I know in the case of the recent CMI event that we put on just two or three weeks ago here, it consisted of a lecture, and then there was an interactive discussion with the people who were attending. Plus, there is a provision that for them to receive their CPD points they must complete an online questionnaire on the content of the particular program that was done.
Those are some of the items that are taken into account. There's a whole list of criteria, but off the top of my head, those are the ones I'm aware of.
